    Well, the soundtrack's not bad

    If you can find acting worse than this, then it's being done on purpose. Bad acting, bad script, un-endearing characters, bad story.

    Family gets their RV stuck in a two-inch hole on dry, solid ground (for real), then Gramps gets a near-lethal wound from a flying nail.

    Stupid woman then panics and runs through a forest...

    Oh, forget it.

    Leaves you wanting more

    Obviously this film is not going to be a 10/10, but I can say for myself that it did at least keep my attention the whole time. The story is interesting, acting is subpar at best. The film however leaves many questions unanswered and definitely feels like they should've added at least another 5-10 minutes showing the aftermath of everything that occurred.

    To round it up..This movie isn't the worst thing to have on and to give a chance at least. I believe its a solid 4/10.

    Don't believe the 'good reviews'. This is Extremely difficult to watch.

    I am always curious about the high reviews some of these *horrible* movies get. I often feel like maybe they watched a different movie with a similar title and got confused. And then I think that, perhaps, they were involved in the production of the movie. Or a family member of someone in the movie. There really aren't any more reasons that make sense to me. Particularly in this case.

    This middle school film project starts off dumb and goes down hill quickly.

    The first thing that makes zero sense is grampa's choice of camping locations. It's simply idiotic to think you can just drive out in the country and pick a spot on someone else's property.

    Then, the RV get stuck on flat, solid ground.

    The story isn't horrible, honestly, but the production is just garbage with some of the worst acting I've seen recently and I just watched Zombeavers last night.

    I admit, I hit the fast forward button several to many times to skip through some of the horrible dialog but I believe I caught most of the salient plot points.

    It's as bad as it looks!

    Saw this a while ago... don't remember much. It's that stupid. I seem to have survived the fright scenes, no residual ptsd! I also recall the grandfather being the worst actor among the amateur cast.

    I wasted my time watching this movie.

    This movie HAD potential, but lost it, starting when the lead characters (the mother & daughter) arrived at the campsite. Thus, was the beginning of flaw after flaw after flaw. The mother gets into an argument with the daughter & acts more like a little kid than the daughter. The mother lacks ANY common sense in emergiency situations & can't make rational decisions. When the daughter is confronted by a psychotic teen, she leaves her best weapon (a shotgun) & runs (toward the psycho) into the RV bathroom to hide. Teens are not as stupid as this girl portrays. I don't have enough room to continue with the flaws in this movie. DON'T do like I did (watch the entire flick)... be better than me; watch something/anything else (twice).
